About Us
Robin Hall, Principal Consultant, ISP*
Robin Hall began her practice in 1999 with one small business bookkeeping client. Her broad industry background enabled her to relate to many different types of business owners, and her strong foundation in all aspects of accounting and natural sense of process facilitated many client success stories. These successes earned her a very loyal following, and as her clients grew, so did her practice. Training is the main constituent of her consultancy now, in addition to bookkeeping, payroll, technical support, customized reports and other organizational tools. She has a talented and dedicated staff with expertise in each area and is in the process of supplementing her company's knowledge base in order to better meet her current and future clients' developing needs.

Julio Aguilar, Senior Support Specialist
Julio Aguilar brings 10+ years of technical expertise to VARC Solutions which includes intimate knowledge of all versions of QuickBooks, all the associated “add-on” software modules – most especially Warehouse Management, and an A+ Certification. His passion for computers started in junior high with a rudimentary drawing program. It fascinated him so much that he “tinkered with” every piece of software he could get his hands on and started collecting computer parts to build his own machine. Once out of school, he joined Intuit on the ground floor as a basic technical support representative. Being bilingual, they initially assigned him to Spanish speaking customers, but very quickly realized that they had their hands on a “diamond in the rough”. With the help of two mentors, he rapidly worked his way up the ladder at Intuit, supporting all types of clients and issues, as well as running test cases on new software. His natural teaching ability (he taught English to Spanish speakers at night school as well as trained Intuit’s new tech support reps), his rapid internalization of all things technical, and his entrepreneurial work ethic resulted in him being the most sought after rep throughout the company. All this attention eventually brought him to the ground floor development of what would become Intuit’s Warehouse Management software module, and transformed him into its preeminent expert. When he isn’t helping VARC’s clients, Mr. Aguilar can either be found playing with his young daughter or tinkering at his new hobby: retrofitting a gasoline engine to use water-emission fuel.
Richard Roppa, Sales Director
Richard Roppa's more than 20 years sales experience began with a brief stint as a technical support rep, where he quickly discovered that his people skills could be put to better use elsewhere. His natural knack for talent-and-needs assessment helped him progress rapidly from technical recruiter to recruiting manager to sales manager of a branch, and along the way won many top performance awards. Desiring to broaden his knowledge base, he then sought out project management assignments where he gained valuable experience in the fields of human resources and accounting (this also included authoring an HR column for both the Houston and Atlanta Business Journals). In addition to his duties at VARC Solutions, he is an avid art collector, on the membership committee of BNI, and a charter member of the Alliance for Digital Equality.
Alisa Sutton, Senior Bookkeeper
Alisa Sutton has more than 20 years experience in bookkeeping and office management. Her expertise, mirroring Robin Hall’s, spans many industries and business sizes, but her forte and passion are focused on the needs of small businesses. In her spare time, she shares another passion, gardening, with retirees who can use her helping hand (and green thumb) throughout the Houston area.
